His desk was in disarray. The police had just paid him a visit looking, the warrant said, for seditious documents and arms. The question needed considera-| tion. Studying him, one sees first a pair of keen, steady eyes. They; can be imperious and soft but} often are wistful. His auburn} g hair is thinning on the brows and} inclines to grayness. He has a plump face but with a lean jaw; a sturdy body and a_ flashing smile that shows white even teeth.
